I find after college (the first time and now in having gone back to school) I have had more time and opportunities to meet people afterward than I did while in school; like Webgoji, I spent/spend most of time studying and also I am usually broke as a student. The world opened/opens up afterward as there is more time and there were/are more funds available to do the things I am passionate about and with other like minded people or different people that get to meet depending on what interested in doing. Clubs, hobbies, volunteering, coworkers, etc. are options that you have more time for outside of school. In that regard, I am so looking forward to graduation for that very reason, to have a more enriched life again.
